Got to the field, started to fly - had a lot of noise in my video. I hate it when my 2.4GHz isn't working and I can only fly 300 feet away.
So I look around and sure enough, there's a young kid not too far away flying his Phantom. I'm thinking, "ok... finish up kid, 'cause I want to fly...", cursing a little under my breath - only because I have a limited amount of time at the park.
The kid leaves - his father and him sit in the car for a bit - I still have interference. So now I'm wondering - what the heck? Did the kid forget to turn off his transmitter? What's the deal?
Father and son leave the park - no one is around - still have interference...
Forgot to turn my Futaba's RF off. Just wasted 30 minutes at the park, could have been flying - probably would have been fine if I wasn't screaming from my transmitter into my video goggles. What a waste!
I will forget where I am one day, or where I parked the car - no one will hear from me then, I'm sure of it...
